Slaton is taking over for Rankins, but Jenkins and McKinley should both be a lot better in their second year, and they looked pretty good last year for rookies. Dax Hill wasn't playing last year but will be back this year. Cam Sample wasn't playing last year but is back. Oren Burkes I think will be much better for us than ADG. Hubbard, love him, but he was horrible playing hurt last year. Ossai and Murphy should be better at DE. Logan Wilson should be healty. DJ Turner should be healthy. Zach Moss, if he's still around, should be healthy. Adn finally, hopefully McMaybe is back to healthy again. Same team, but there was a lot going on last year people tend to overlook
It’s the same roster. For every IF you just said, the opposite could be said. Ever seen a player regress? What if Hendrickson gets just 12 sacks. What if Mims, Jenkins, Turner regress. What if CTB sucks again. What if Ossai can’t get consistent pressure and Murphy gets 2 sacks all year. What if Hill is injured again. What if OBJ gets injured.
The starting roster to this point is 95.45% the same players as last year. One new starter in Slayton.
Props go out for singing Chase and Tee. I think that needed to be done. But that can’t be it. And it appears that was the plan all along. Hang our hat on the moral victory of singing our two receivers.
It’s okay to be critical. I know we’re all passionate fans. Why else would we be here posting to a message board lol. I’ll cheer as loud as any fan. Probably cry if they win a superbowl. But I’ll be vocal in my opinions of this team not being good enough. This was the biggest offseason of the JB era and so far we have the exact same team. Yeah things could be worse. We could hypothetically lost Chase next year and tee next year. So I’m glad we got them signed. But this isn’t enough to go in to the playoffs and win 3-4 games, in a row, against the league’s best teams.
